As the only animal of flight in the Chinese zodiac, as a rooster it is a harbinger and as a hen it lays eggs; it is an animal symbolic of verve, luck and prosperity. For 2017, LIULI presents the Year of the Rooster Chinese zodiac collection Awaken the First Ray of Sunlight which includes the naturalistic rooster and hen design. Portrayed in realistic detail, the piece is an ode to flourishing life. It exudes warmth and the tenacity of our elders who throughout the course of history have put family and career first in order for us to have a better life.

In LIULI’s signature representational style, every inch of the bird’s form from skin to feather to hue is shown in lifelike detail. The use of liuli (crystal glass) further gives the body and wings a soft lustrous texture and is arguably the highlight of the piece.

Face the Sun
A rooster raises its head with a determined gaze, not unlike the imposing figure cut by one’s father. Sights set far, heart elevated, confident and tireless, this is one who rises triumphant after hardship.

Love’s Fulfillment
A warm gaze, an attentive gaze. Like a mother hen, the protector, unwavering in wind or rain, she opens her wings, you are safe. This is motherly love in its purest and truest form.

Thank you to those who do everything for their families. Thank you for your constant care and concern. May all parents live a fortuitous year under a blessed roof. We encourage that indefatigable spirit within. LIULI believes that there is always someone who strives for the best and harbors a caring heart within every home, every family unit. Harmonious Home is a sincere offering of blessings that shows gratitude for your elders and friends.
